According to Mystic On Sony Working a PS2 Emulator "I have good authority that is happening...just not ready yet"
- Thread starter Box
- Start date
PS2 emulation is already on PS5.
I can play Wild Arms 3 via emulation.
So these dumb leakers have no ideia of what they are talking about… the PS2 emulation was created on PS4 and there is over 50 titles running via PS2 emulation.
If at all they will it for more titles

Really?
PS4/PS5 has a PS1 Emulator called PS1HD.
PS1 games runs using that emulator not native.
It has a PS2 emulator too.

Thats for the ps4 and its very buggy with a ton of frame rate issues, Ape Escape 2 doesnt even work on ps5 and the Jak games have a ton of frame drops.
Native wasn't the right word. Yeah there is an emulator for ps1. Should have said locally.
I only have Wild Arms 3… it works fine with the same bugs as running on PS4 (it runs as PS4 on PS5).
But I don’t believe Sony will create a new PS2 Emulator… that makes no sense at all.
At best (if true the OP video) they will work more with that emulator that already exists.
They can start making that Emulator a native PS5 app.
Again it doesn’t make any sense to create a new PS2 emulator… nobody do that.
Something that I forgot to say.
The PS1 and PS2 emulators are not included in the PS4/PS5 firmwares… it come with the game package.
So each PS1 or PS2 game on PS Store come with the Emulator included in the game download… each game has it own PS1 or PS2 emulator.
They could make them universal app included in the firmware imo updated on the fly… with only the games being downloaded.

Sony already has a PS2 emulators.
PS5 already emulates PS1, PS2, PSP and PS4, and PS4 already emulates PS1, PS2 and PSP.
We saw job offers to work on emulators. They may improve these PS1, PS2 and PSP emulators for PS4 and PS5, may be working on a PS Vita one or may be porting them to PC and mobile.

They already have a PS1 emulator (as they do for a PS2 emulator)... it's just that you can't put your disc in the machine and play a game you already have.
As for PS1, even if it was more open and was looking for discs, the PS5 cannot read CDs.
Not sure what you mean, maybe the PS2 has PS1 backward compat.
Sooo... Does this mean I'll be able to play my physical PSX and PS2 discs on my PS5 soon? We've also heard this for PS3 a couple of times now, so I'll only believe it when I see it, but it would recover some faith in the current heads of PlayStation.

Yep. But well, at least -as happens with many PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP titles- we have several Vita games remastered/remade for PS4/PS5, adding stuff like extra resolution, trophies, framerate, adapted controls etc. Many of them are in the store or the PS+ Premium sub.
Which for many people is a better option than simply having the old game emullated.
Very likely not. The most likely is that they will simply update their existing PS1, PSP and PS2 emulators or port them to PC or mobile. Or may use a better emulator for future PS1/PS2/PSP games they may add.
PS3 emulation in PS4 or PS5 won't happen, it's technically impossible according to the main programmer of the best PS3 emulation in PC and a main Insomniac/ICE Team programmer who worked in the main PS3 Sony game engine.
At least at full performance, with no bugs and including games that use the tech stuff that makes the emulation -in decent/commercial conditions- problematic.

They already have a PS2 emulator they just put minimal effort into getting PS2 games on the consoles
